Mole and wart removal and medical expense deductions

Overview of moles and warts

Moles are benign tumors (including malignant tumors), and whether they are on the face or body, they are covered by insurance if a doctor deems it necessary. Warts are also known by names such as verruca vulgaris. Mole and wart treatments paid for out of pocket are also eligible for medical expense deductions.

Receipts and tax evasion

Cosmetic surgery clinics often handle cash, and many clinics do not issue receipts for the purpose of tax evasion. At our clinic, we always issue receipts for mole removal and wart removal procedures that are eligible for medical expense deductions.

Mole removal and medical expense deduction

Mole removal is eligible for medical expense deductions whether covered by insurance or paid out of pocket. Moles are benign tumors called nevus cell nevi, and unfortunately many cosmetic surgery clinics do not inform their patients of this information.

The difference between moles and warts

Moles are called pigmented nevi or nevus cell nevi, and warts are called common warts. Patients cannot diagnose the disease themselves when treating moles or warts. There are also benign tumors such as viral warts, aging warts, and skin tags that occur frequently on the neck. Medical expenses deductions are also available for the removal of these benign tumors.

Differences between medical insurance and medical expense deductions

Although medical treatment covered by insurance and medical expense deductions are different, in the case of mole and wart removal, treatment covered by insurance is also eligible for medical expense deduction. In addition, diseases such as soft fibrous tumors, sebaceous cysts, and senile warts are generally considered to be moles, and patients visit us for treatment. When removing these diseases, they are also covered by insurance or eligible for medical expense deduction.

Basics of insured medical treatment and medical expense deductions

In the case of insured medical treatment, the full amount is generally deductible as medical expenses. Since insured medical treatment is not performed for cosmetic purposes, mole and wart removal should naturally be covered by insurance and also be deductible as medical expenses. Cosmetic surgery clinics that do not inform patients of this benefit are not concerned with reducing the burden on patients. However, treatments that are purely cosmetic, such as minor cosmetic surgery and wrinkle removal, are not eligible for medical expense deductions.

Consultation for mole and wart treatment

If you are undergoing treatment for a mole or wart, whether on the face or body, it is eligible for medical expense deductions regardless of whether it is insured or self-paid treatment, so please feel free to contact us.

Treatment Policy of Our Hospital

At our clinic, we do not use any aggressive methods such as all-you-can-remove or roughly irradiating the laser on moles and warts to remove them. Our specialist director carefully removes moles and warts one by one, with the least noticeable scars possible, quickly, cleanly, and painlessly. Please be careful as we have received many inquiries from patients who have been treated with all-you-can-remove lasers and have been left with burn scars on their faces.
